Pre-Concert Talks

Join us one hour before select concerts for a free pre-concert talk! Pre-Concert Talks are designed to enhance your enjoyment of the concert by providing insights into the works on the program.

Hosted by Douglas Droste, Artistic Director/Conductor and frequently joined by the guest artist for the concert. The music experts share different viewpoints and approaches to their conversations about the music. Some might explore why a composer wrote a particular piece of music, examining its social and historical context. Others might look at how a piece of music is constructed, guiding listeners through recorded excerpts of the works being performed.

Concerts previews are AT NO COST and open to all concert tickets holders. Speakers and locations are subject to change.
